Assessment of the Functional Regions of the Superantigen Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B
The functional activity of superantigens is based on capacity of these microbial proteins to bind to both the β-chain of the T cell receptor (TcR) and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II dimer.

HSEARCH: fast and accurate protein sequence motif search and clustering [PDF]
Protein motifs are conserved fragments occurred frequently in protein sequences. They have significant functions, such as active site of an enzyme. Search and clustering protein sequence motifs are computational intensive. Most existing methods are not fast enough to analyze large data sets for motif finding or achieve low accuracy for motif clustering.

Expression and purification of soluble and active human enterokinase light chain in Escherichia coli
Human enterokinase light chain (hEKL) specifically cleaves the sequence (Asp)4-Lys↓X (D4K), making this a frequently used enzyme for site-specific cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins.

Protein Hypernetworks: a Logic Framework for Interaction Dependencies and Perturbation Effects in Protein Networks [PDF]
Motivation: Protein interactions are fundamental building blocks of biochemical reaction systems underlying cellular functions. The complexity and functionality of such systems emerge not from the protein interactions themselves but from the dependencies between these interactions.

Immunological responses in the mouse host to a cloned antigen of Taeniacrassiceps [PDF]
Adult female Swiss-Webster mice were immunized either intraperitoneally (IP) or subcutaneously (SQ) with cyst fluid or a genetically engineered fusion protein, Taenia carassiceps antigen 2-maltose binding protein (TCA2-MBP) from Taenia crassiceps ...

Frizzled Proteins are bona fide G Protein-Coupled Receptors [PDF]
Receptors of the Frizzled family initiate Wnt ligand-dependent signaling controlling multiple steps in organism development and highly conserved in evolution. Misactivation of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling is cancerogenic.
